NEW-YORK, January 16.

Last evening arrived in this port, the ship Aitrea, Capt. Dodge, from Ostend, and 47 days from Ostend.—From the recent departure of this vessel from Ostend, and the precarious situation of that place from the last accounts, one must suppose that this vessel would have been the newsmonger of important news; but from ignorance or obstinacy, the application of several gentlemen to obtain information, had been ineffectual when this paper went to press—except, some one on board believed that Ostend and Nieuport were not taken.
